In a remarkable gesture of compassion and support, Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd (MEIL) has extended a significant contribution towards assisting the Mongolian herders hit hard by the devastating Dzud weather conditions.
The Mongol Oil Refinery team, currently spearheading the construction of Mongolia’s first greenfield integrated Mongol Oil Refinery project in the Dornogobi province, Mongolia, expressed their heartfelt appreciation for MEIL’s generosity. Dr Altansetseg Dashdavva, CEO of Mongol Oil Refinery, Mongolia, expressed his gratitude, saying, “On behalf of my company, as well as the Mongolian herders who are suffering due to the harsh snow catastrophe, I want to express my deepest thankfulness for your generous contribution to our aid and help to Dornogovi nomads! May God be always with Megha Engineering and with India.”
MEIL’s involvement in the refinery project extends beyond construction, as it has taken on the immense task of overseeing the construction of critical segments within the refinery, including the diesel hydrotreater unit (DHDT), hydrocracker Unit (HCU), visbreaker unit (VBU), hydrogen generation unit (HGU), sulphur block, LPG treating unit, hydrogen compression and distribution – matching, plant buildings— satellite rack rooms, sub-stations, open art units, utilities, offsites, and more.
In addition to this, to ensure that project deadlines are met without hindrance, MEIL has also taken up the construction of the largest camp in the region, which will accommodate around 2,400 workers.
The Dzud weather, known for its extreme cold and harsh conditions, has led to widespread hardship and food insecurity for herder communities across Mongolia, who heavily rely on their livestock for survival.
MEIL Hydrocarbons President P Rajesh Reddy underscored the company’s commitment to supporting the Dornogovi nomads during this challenging period, stating, “Our commitment for livestock support to the Dornogovi nomads during this challenging time reflects our values of empathy and solidarity that we all share. The aid from the MEIL family will mitigate the tragedy of livestock mortality and empower herder households to procure vital hay and fodder for their animals.”
